FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Donald Trump’s base is as devoted as ever, and the criminal charges against him aren’t dampening supporters’ enthusiasm about his 2024 presidential candidacy.
If anything, South Florida backers are more fired up on his behalf than they were before he was indicted, pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts in New York, and returned to Mar-a-Lago to rally support and lambaste the prosecutor and judge.
“Absolutely I support him,” said Cathy Rollins, of Plantation. “Am I likely to vote for him again? Absolutely. I think it’s terrible what they’re putting him through.”
